I think you mean Jon Oliver.
Yes. I've seen very little of either Colbert or Stewart, and Stewart seems to always be taking himself very seriously. Colbert seems the opposite, though; he doesn't take himself seriously at all, although his character takes himself more seriously than anyone.....The Iron Ninja said:
I have to see more of both of them to make a choice, but I'm leaning toward Colbert at the moment.
well... i personally LOVED it when they were both on screen at onece (when colbert was a daily show reporter and the recent election special) i wish they would do shit like that more often, i think the daily show is slightly funnier because or the arab guy the british guy and the older black guy (i guess the new guy is also good). but individually colbert is overall funnier, we was also pretty damn good on... every TV show hes ever been on.
Each has their own merits. The Daily Show is more dependable to actually learn a bit of news while lauging at the occasional witty comment (or sometimes laughing at pure stupidity, which is still fun). The Colbert Report is more just there for laughs. They're both satires, but the Daley Show gets some serious interviews while the Colbert Report is always joking around (at least on Steven's part).
My personal opinion, though, is that the Colbert Report is more entertaining. I love both shows, but I always enjoyed good ol' Steve more.

While I watch both shows nightly (well, 4 nights a week) I prefer The Daily Show over The Colbert Report simply because I feel I learn more about current political/world issues through TDS' delivery than I do from TCR. I agree with the thoughts on team vs solo in that when shown back-to-back they do have a sort of balance of topics and delivery between them. I did love A Colbert Christmas for the wink it gave to so many of the Christmas variety shows I watched growing up.

I like both shows because equally because they're doing different things. The Daily Show is is more news oriented, and there's definitely some underlying rage beneath the jokes, meanwhile The Colbert Report is pure satire, but then, that was kind of the point of the shows to begin with.
John Stewart sucks ass. It's only become even worse lately. Colbert I can put up with but both of them are total kiss asses of the US gov. Colbert tries to pretend he's a republicrat, which is pretty laughable most of the time.
All in all Colbert makes me laugh much more than Stewart ever did...
I only hope people here don't think they are getting real news from either of these guys, you can't use mainstream media to get real news anymore, especially fake news shows.

Colbert is way way funnier than Stewart. The Daily Show is practically a serious news venue compared to the non-stop hilarity that is the Colbert Report.
wow...1 year and two months later, a couple of crazy kids tried to resurrect a dead thread.TraumaHound said:
Don't give up that arm TraumaHound! lol jk man. (Yes, that was a Full Metal Alchemist reference lol)
OT: Colbert is good for most of the show, but I like the variety of The Daily Show more.
Heh heh, you know, I was searching for something on the Forum (can't remember what now) and this came up and since TDS was coming on I thought I'd chime in. Totally didn't notice the thread's initial date. *shrug*Scikosomatic said:
This thread reeks of decay...and I don't know who either of these men are. And with that, I leave.
